Ben, the more recent blue top is the one I have. I did contact the company and received email from a very nice lady there. The quote was $60.00 to $100.00 plus $10.00 return shipping. I think the price is o.k. and I have no problem with it not being waranteed. I was just curious if any of the do it yourselfers had any experience with repairs such as this.

I'd consider the grunden neoprene neck seal to go over the aquaskinz top.

If I had to pay the maximum of $100 plus shipping for a repair then I'd consider a new top. A used top in good condition with no defects can't be much more the the max. repair quote. Then you'll have spare parts which are worth something because tears are inevitable like leaks in waders.

Good point..........thats why I solicited evryone's ideas here.

I checked Grunden's for the neck seal and didn't see what your talking about. Any further description, so I can check further?

I called both the store and Grunden's both said that they do not exist. I must have been dreaming that day thinking I saw the neck seal. oophs, sorry.

How about the 3mm neoprene hood by Aquaskinz. It has a neck to it.

I tried the two-part epoxy. We'll see what happens. I'll have to be tender putting on/and taking off.
